Then just let them mix the ingredients with their little hands. All the ingredients are soft enough you can leave the mixer standing in its place while the kids are having fun. Another good thing about it is that it's easy to clean up after making banana bread as the majority of are for one bowl mixtures.

An easy and tasty variation of banana bread is made by adding chocolate chips into the batter. Chocolate taste blends well with bananas and the chips themselves hold their shape in the bread. The only thing you have to remember is to put the chocolate chips just before pouring the mixture into the pans. Adding some chopped walnuts is also a good idea, although it is a bit risky, because in case you decide to go for it you'll have to be absolutely sure that none of your guests is having a nut allergy.

In case you are pressed by the time you can always make banana bread in the bread machine, just follow the instructions and add the products in the same order as they are listed.

You can also use overripe bananas in these recipes and what's more we often get them cheaper, don't we? Of course we can freeze some too. Freezing bananas is easy - just peel and mash the amount you need, then put in a plastic bag or an air-tight container and straight into the freezer. Next time you are making banana bread just take the frozen bananas out and put them in the mixture.

Another thing you would like to know is that prepared banana bread freezes well also, so when you are next making a loaf, just make some more, pack it tight and freeze it. Afterwards you can use it anytime you decide. It makes a great hostess present to take along when you're invited to somebody's house. So next time you are out for groceries, get some extra bananas and try preparing a loaf or two of banana bread - it's easy to make and most people enjoy it. What's more it's also easy to have on hand, as it freezes well.
